Ms S lives on a second floor flat with no lifts, and her health conditions meant she has had problems going up and down the stairs. She is hoping to be moved to a ground floor flat and has set out on a decluttering mission to prep for the aforementioned move.

She had several boxes and bags above the kitchen cupboards in spots which were difficult to reach with her mobility issues. She also had several bags and old household items which were piled up in the corridor just outside of her flat and needed to be taken outside to the rubbish disposal area.

All the items were quite light so the job was done quite quickly, but the space where the various bags and household items were sat for some time needed some cleaning. I told Ms S I wanted to do a quick clean as it would make better before and after photos :-) She initially said she didn't want to bother me and she could do it herself but it was also obvious that it would be more difficult for her to do with the pain she has from her health conditions anyway. So I did a quick clean. The whole job only took 45 mins or so.

Ms S thanked me several times and rewarded me with her beautiful smile.

Before and after photos of her corridor below!
